Intrade should make one exception to closing shop, they should let people bet on why they are having to close shop.

My bet would be that somebody pulled a Jon Corzine.

Their whole business model was upended by the Obama administration, the founder died in a climbing accident on Mount Everest, and they demonstrated a pronounced lack of desire to be in this business anyways. Maybe they can sell to someone who really does want to do what they originally intended, but I doubt it.

Probably busted for an illegal gambling operation. Not the right license. Always seemed a little fishy to me.

Looks like The Blaze was on to the potential closing about a month ago.

InTrade is best known for brokering bets in the U.S. presidential elections. But last November, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission sued to stop the Dublin-based site from offering prediction contracts to Americans. As a result, InTrade closed all U.S. accounts pending a court-ordered injunction

My guess would be that the market got small enough that manipulation could occur.

But it’s not possible to game or cheat a web voting process.

How can this be?

LMAO.

The DNC has been testing to learn how to “handle” internet based voting.
